Is this setup possible?
Sure, there's an old Greddy or Trust kit that I used to have that ran both the inlet and outlet from the intercooler on the passenger side, then ran the pipe from the FMIC to the throttle body over the top of the intake manifold, then basically 180* back into the throttle body. It was made specifically for this.

^^^ Here is the piping arrangement on my old FC. HKS used to make a really a neat front mount since you did not have to cut the front bumper. Super stealth.
You could build something similar with the Greddy intercooler in the auction above. You will need a custom throttle body outlet. The hot pipe from the turbo goes down to the intercooler. Cold pipe comes up as shown in my picture above. You have to slightly trim the car to get pipes around the sides of the radiator but its not as invasive as most front mount installs.

i've been putting a Greddy one on mine, i like it because the IC isn't really visible. there is also no cutting of bumper, you get to keep the rebar. the HKS one is CARB legal too.
